That is kind of horrifying, lol.
I deleted mine 11 years ago to cut the drama out of my life. I don't regret it at all.
I've decided I've got to delete all my cookies again and then start searching for random people and clicking on their facebook pages to try to reset the damn thing. I never click on any of the emails they send me, so maybe they'll think they got it wrong.

Don't concern yourself with things that stress you. There's enough of that in life that you can't avoid anyway...Having said that, I actually found the comments to be, at most, annoying. People can be so incredibly intentionally stupid. But by now, I have heard far worse. As I said, some things you can't avoid.
Just finished the HIT. Some of these comments I was rating were, to say the least, incredibly stupid. It is truly unfortunate that as a species we have been given the gift of nearly limitless knowledge (the internet), and yet so many choose to use it as a platform to display their... Perfunctory brain functions.

Don't beat yourself up about it. It happens. I messed up deviled eggs a decade ago and my husband still brings it up because it's hilarious now that I think about it. We were making them and I threw away the yolks and he turned around and was like "Babe... you didn't throw away the yolks, did you?" :hilarious:
Oh, also I've burned scrambled eggs and lasagna. I'm sure there's more if I really think about it. haha
I'm blaming it all on the computer. ''The devil computer made me do it''. I get involved online and forget about the kitchen. I try NOT TO LEAVE the kitchen when I'm cooking, but that's when panda starts screaming at me.

I think more of us have that easily distracted by the computer problem. Someone on the forum recently mentioned she sets a timer when she's cooking and turking so she doesn't forget about what's going on in the kitchen. A simple, yet necessary tactic. lol

I made some homemade granola bars the other day with molasses and I totally thought I burned them. Luckily they are delicious, but I totally thought I fucked up and burned them at first. I may be a wonderful cook, but it comes at the price of some terrible mistakes occasionally. As a child I tried to boil eggs once, promptly forgot about them, and my parents ended up having to paint the ceiling after the eggs exploded and couldn't be cleaned off enough.
Molasses is burned to begin from the first, since it is the scrapings of the sugar refining process. And as you know, sugar cane is burned to begin with.
For the curious: cane field->burned off to harvest->brown sugar->processed to white sugar/brown sugars->molasses->waffles! and oatmeal cookies! and the Crab's granola bars...The Brazilians also feed molasses to cattle.

I had no idea! I've never used molasses before the granola bars, but I do know that I love it.
